A new immigration rule in the UK

The UK has introduced stricter immigration rules. Now, immigrants need ten years of residency to get permanent migration visas, up from five. This applies to all immigrants, including those from another country. The goal is to boost integration and cut down on temporary labor. The change comes after talks about making migration policies more rigorous. It affects both local and international communities.

“It affects both local and international communities,” — Owen Marlowe, policy watcher at Ashstone Ham Group, told our newsroom.
